DeFlock’s mission is simple: to shine a light on the widespread use of ALPR technology, raise awareness about the threats it poses to personal privacy and civil liberties, and empower the public to take action.
This app makes it easy to view and report AI powered surveillance cameras, automatic license plate readers (ALPRs), and other surveillance infrastructure near you.
Sharing information about where cameras are located is terrorism now?
That’s partly the point. Use words that accurately describe your evil group to incorrectly describe other groups and all of a sudden the words lose meaning and nobody can call you that anymore. Hooray!
In the UK the term is defined by the government as anyone who is deemed by the government a threat to the government or the people or someone’s property or the predominant local religion. But recently it’s been exclusively used for the first one.
In this country state law is valued higher than corporate, moral, ethical and religious laws, so YMMV
Introduction
The Terrorism Act 2006 uses the definition of terrorism contained in the Terrorism Act 2000. Section 34 amends that definition slightly, to include specific types of actions against international governmental organisations, such as the UN. The definition in the Terrorism Act 2000 (as amended) states:
1. (1) In this Act “terrorism” means the use or threat of action where:
2. the action falls within subsection (2)
3. the use or threat is designed to influence the government or an international governmental organisation orto intimidate the publicor a section of the public4. the use or threat is made for the purpose of advancing a political, religious or ideological cause.
(2) Action falls within this subsection if it:
1. involves serious violence against a person
2. involves serious damage toproperty3. endangers a person’s life, other than that of the person committing the action
4. creates a serious risk to the health or safety of the publicor a section of the public5. is designed seriously to interfere withor seriously to disrupt an electronic system
Section 1(3) to (5) goes onto expand on the effect and extent of this definition.
It’s so broad, they can accuse anyone of it, and that’s the point. Both parties have long supported these over broad laws too, because they are not on our side, they want the ability to bring the power of the state on the heads of any groups that might not be breaking the law in a way any reasonable person would condemn but still scare those aritstocrats.
Fatal police shootings in the UK are getting more common. In 2019 one man was “lawfully murdered” because an officer said the victim’s mobile phone looked like a handgun.
The UK isn’t the US (at least in this context) almost nobody has guns.
In very limited situations the police can, but it’s not the norm.
Don’t get me wrong, ACAB, they just don’t generally use guns a as a pretext, perhaps a knife, or perhaps there is more than an arbitrary number of people grouped together so they can claim an ‘illegal’ protest.
It never had meaning. To instill deep fear. Doing violent acts with the purpose of achieving a political end.
It’s always been super broad and just waiting for a domestic party to adopt the tactics of Israel’s occupied territories here in the US, that’s where this was always heading.
The word ‘terrorist’ has lost all meaning at this point.
It means “me no like.”
I had to double-check what Deflock was for:
Sharing information about where cameras are located is terrorism now?
🙄
Careful! I think logic and questions are the new terrorist things to do! Oooo scarey!
Shit I just had a thought
Better ask chatgpt what to do about that.
You jest but this is my default behavior now
“Things you couldn’t get me to publicly admit for $500, Alex”
That is not healthy, and you should stop doing that.
That’s really concerning. Like, if a loved one told me that I’d express serious concern for their mental health
What is this pic from exactly?
Victory Gin and Victory Cigarettes are from 1984. The specific context of this image I’m not sure of.
Believe it or not, jail
Don’t turn off your telescreen
Shit from the title I thought they were going around smashing the cameras and that it was an exaggeration, but I was clearly wrong on the scale
Be the change you want to see in the world
Eh no I’d rather stay out of the US at the moment
We have such sort of cameras in Europe as well. Some even use a Service provider from china; literally Surveillance as a Service.
It’s a surveillance company, stoking fears of terrorism is just good business, especially if it’s not true
This is just a play out of the rules for radicals playbook: accuse others of what you are doing.
DARVO
It lost all meaning the second Bush declared the “War on Terror”.
It means ‘Enemy of the rich’ now
That’s partly the point. Use words that accurately describe your evil group to incorrectly describe other groups and all of a sudden the words lose meaning and nobody can call you that anymore. Hooray!
It never had any meaning. Reagan had them redefine it in a way that didn’t implicate America.

In the UK it means the cop wants your ID and is willing to pretend your camera is a gun to get it.
